Chu Xiu’s divine sense enveloped the area near the crimson mist. After cultivating the Yama Scripture’s [Nether Chain] divine technique and achieving Core Formation, his spirit had become powerful to the point of being on par with demigods specializing in mental attacks. The extension of his divine sense was vast and resilient beyond imagination.
If in an open area, it could easily cover a radius of over a hundred miles!
At this moment, however, this massive divine sense was merely surrounding a strand of divine sense, like millions of soldiers besieging a wild deer.
However, Chu Xiu’s expression was extremely grave. This crimson mist was unlike any material he had encountered before. Whether gaseous, liquid, or solid, as long as it was matter, it had definite weight and structure. Just because ordinary people cannot see gas, it does not truly mean that gas is a formless entity.
Even the burning flames, under Chu Xiu’s divine sense capture, could reveal the complex physical and chemical transformations of its particles.
Yet, the crimson mist was different. To say it had no form at all would be incorrect, as it still had a material structure and energy flow. The puzzling part was that Chu Xiu felt as though a barrier lay between his perception and the crimson mist, like trying to perceive the scent of an object with one’s eyes. No matter how much he tried, though he knew the crimson mist was right in front of him, he could not perceive any of its information.
"It’s like the Heroic Spirit couldn’t perceive the rules before, due to the lack of ’organs’ or abilities to sense the rules. Does this mean the crimson mist is beyond my current tier to perceive?"
"But why did my body instinctively transform a small portion of the crimson mist?"
"No, it’s not that I’m lacking the ability to perceive, it’s more like there’s a barrier impeding my cognition..."
This barrier wasn’t a physical barrier but more like a mental blind spot.
The more Chu Xiu pondered, the stranger it seemed. After contemplating for a while, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In the next moment, Chu Xiu’s divine sense surged like a great hand, grasping a strand of crimson mist abruptly!
Violent analysis!
Countless strands of divine sense spread like an all-pervasive gas, dissecting and analyzing the crimson mist!
Suddenly, Chu Xiu seemed to perceive a hidden origin within the crimson mist!
As soon as a strand of divine sense touched this origin, a torrent of information flooded in. Originally, Chu Xiu had mobilized less than one percent of his divine sense, most of which was focused on guarding against the outer world, as he couldn’t fully trust other Civilization Envoys yet.
But almost at the instant he touched the unknown origin, all his divine sense uncontrollably rushed towards it, as if the vast information contained within required more than one percent of his divine sense.
Chu Xiu saw a blur before his eyes, and in the next moment, innumerable data flashed rapidly across his vision!
"This is... Abyss City?"
Chu Xiu widened his eyes in disbelief.
His current experience was identical to when he was in Abyss City!
The difference being that only a small part of his consciousness had entered Abyss City, akin to experiencing virtual reality, whereas now, his entire being was in the game world!
The overwhelming flow of information plunged him into a profound state. Chu Xiu keenly sensed the importance of the information before him. His divine thought, akin to a supercomputer, parsed and memorized rapidly, but the sheer volume made him feel as though he understood something while simultaneously grasping nothing.
"This feeling resembles the state when I observed the Inheritance Immortal Stele in the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World!"
Except back then, whether due to his divine soul’s insufficient strength or for other reasons, he couldn’t observe the data stream representing ’essence,’ only experiencing a profound sensation.
"What exactly is the Inheritance Immortal Stele? How is it connected to the tribulation and the rules?"
Chu Xiu felt that the secrets hidden within the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World were possibly even more immense than he had imagined!
Moreover, these data...
As Chu Xiu pondered, the data before him suddenly vanished, and the crimson mist surrounded by strands of divine sense had completely dissipated, leaving no trace.
Chu Xiu instinctively shivered, his awareness returning to his body.
Currently, he felt a severe headache; his intuition told him that he had grasped something extremely vital and precious, but whenever he tried to recall what it precisely was, his mind was a chaotic mess.
This sensation was akin to quickly passing through an aircraft carrier’s manufacturing blueprint in three seconds.
"Brother Chen... Are you alright?"
At this moment, a concerned female voice sounded in Chu Xiu’s ear.
He opened his eyes, and the worried face of Xie Xuanzhao came into view.
"I’m fine," Chu Xiu waved his hand, looking around. They had already returned inside the Star Jumping Ship.
"Have we arrived?" he asked.
Xie Xuanzhao opened her mouth, hesitated, and then Mu Tuo beside her said, "Far from it, Brother Chen, you’ve been motionless just like that for a full three minutes."
"What?!" Chu Xiu was shocked. His perceived time should have passed no more than two seconds.
Wasn’t this more similar to the time when he observed the Inheritance Immortal Stele?
Instantly, he felt a shiver of fear. Until just now, all his mind had been under the crimson mist’s control, essentially in an unguarded state. If someone had attacked at that time...
